CHAPTER 2: FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL

"Kera! Get up!" Selena yelled. No response. "KERA! GET UP!" she yelled angrily. Still no response. Selena threw her hands in the air, stomped out, and came back in with the others, except Yumi, who didn't stay at school.

"She won't get up!"

"I know. We heard you yelling." Jeremy said, rubbing his eyes.

"This is just like Odd. There's only one way to wake her up." Ulrich said, walking over to her.

"What?"

"Sit on her."

"What!?!?"

"Sit on her." Ulrich repeated. Then he sat on her stomach and she immediately woke up.

"Get your butt off of me!" she yelled, shoving him off.

"See?"

"Why do I even need to get up? It's......Monday! Yeeps, why didn't you wake me up sooner!?!" she yelled.

"I tried to." Selena said, as Kera ran into the walk-in closet to change.

"Yeeps?" Jeremy asked curiously.

"It's one of her words." Selena explained, "She's like that."

"Cool." Odd said. Suddenly, the closet door opened, and Kera walked out wearing a black belly-style t-shirt with a green pirana on it, black leggings with a neon green skirt over them, and black-and-green sneakers, with her hair back in a pony-tail again. The green studs were back in, and she'd also put black ones in her cartilage piercings.

"Wow." Odd said, and Kera laughed.

"You get used to it." she said, smiling.

"People seem to say that a lot about you." Aelita smiled, sleepily. Then Jasmine grabbed her green messenger-style book bag which was decorated with snake stickers, happy bunny stickers, and dragon stickers.

"Cool." Odd said again. They all went off to class, and suffered through Math, Reading, and English, until Science. They all sat down and Mrs. Hertz began the lesson on Semicelliphobia. Fifteen minutes later, she was arguing with Kera.

"Miss Kayne! If you do not sit back down, I will be forced to send you to the principal!" she said angrily.

"I'm only trying to tell you that your theory on Sediconf's explanation and revelations of Semicelliphobia is wrong." Kera said calmly.

"I'll humor you. How?"

"Well, semi means half, and phobia means fear, so, Semicelliphobia, means, half cell fear. In Sediconf's explanation of Semicelliphobia, he states that the portions taken from the quantities of cells in his experiment were equal. Meaning, half was taken from each group of cells, hence the title, half cell fear. On the board, you said the first portion was half, which is correct, but you dubbed the second portion as a quarter, which is wrong. It doesn't make a whole." she paused for breath than continued, "That is the first mistake. The second mistake, which, if it had been correct, would have countered the first mistake and corrected the problem, was made when you implied that Gerdfred's theory of Numercelliphobia should be taken into consideration.

"Numer, we can assume, is short for numeral, meaning number. In that light, we can imply that numeral means to multiply. So, Numercelliphobia, means multiple cell fear. The controversy between half and multiple, threw off the problem entirely. So, your answer of 2.655, should actually be 6.872." she finished. Mrs. Hertz, with her mouth hanging open, turned to the board and studied it.

"Miss Kayne, I believe that you're right." she finally said, correcting the problem and sitting in her chair. The entire class stared at her in shock, then the bell rang and everyone went to lunch and recess.

"That was amazing Kera!" Odd remarked, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Thanks. I do my best." she said, smiling. They all got their lunch, and Yumi joined them as they sat down. Then Sissy walked up to them.

"You, girl, you think you're so smart! But showing off like that in class, it just makes you look stupid!" she said smugly.

"Like you?" Kera asked, smiling.

"Oh, shut-up! And that outfit? It's really ugly!" Sissy said, turning light pink.

"Like your face?" Kera asked, smiling again and taking a bite of salad. The others snickered.

"You think you're so cool!" she yelled.

"And you think you're attractive. One of us is wrong, and it's not me." Kera smirked. Odd nearly choked on a chicken wing because he was laughing so hard .

"Who do you think you are?!?!?" Sissy yelled.

"Ulrich's cousin. Kera Kayne."

"Oh! Did I mention how cool your hair looks?"

"Did I mention how pathetic you are? Please, don't suck-up. It won't help you get Ulrich." Kera laughed, and Sissy blushed dark red, glared at her, and stomped away. Everyone at the table laughed.

"Nice one! Sissy was so embarrassed!" Odd said, finally clearing his airway.

Kera laughed lightly. "I already told you, I do my best. She's just a wannabe anyway."

"You," Odd said, staring at her, besotted, "are amazing."
